.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
\fBbp_mapin()\fR is used to map virtual address space to a page list maintained
by the buffer header during a paged- \fBI/O \fRrequest. \fBbp_mapin()\fR
allocates system virtual address space, maps that space to the page list, and
returns the starting address of the space in the \fBbp->b_un.b_addr\fR field of
the \fBbuf\fR(9S) structure. Virtual address space is then deallocated using
the \fBbp_mapout\fR(9F) function.
.sp
.LP
If a null page list is encountered, \fBbp_mapin()\fR returns without allocating
space and no mapping is performed.
.SH CONTEXT
.sp
.LP
\fBbp_mapin()\fR can be called from user and kernel contexts.
